The NHS 'Think Pharmacy Minor Ailment Service' can potentially cut down a lot of visits to the GP.

Basically you go to the pharmacy/chemist with your problem if it is a minor ailment. Apparently it works in conjunction with your GP so if a prescription is needed, you can get it straightaway without visiting the actual GP.

Seems to be available everywhere, if you google your area, you'll see it.

Dont know if it is different in other parts, but up here, it looks like you have to get free pescriptions to get this.
'If you are entitled to free prescriptions, you can access medicines for a range of common illnesses'

This makes no sense, if you work, they chances are you have to pay for your prescriptions. If you work, it is harder to find the time to go to the docs, so this could be useful, but you cant use it.

Edit: I might be reading that wrong, and everyone can get it.
But looking at the list, all the ailments they can deal with, you can buy over the counter stuff for.

At least we now have people talking about the NHS and rethinking how best to use the services we have. Paracetamol is the perfect example.£10 cost if we get it on prescription. 20p from the supermarket

It was Aau who recommended them to begin with, then when I went to get them I found out they'd rebranded them.

So it's Aau we all have to thank.

Cadbury's buttons were £2.65 a bag in my SD the other day :eek:

Thanks then to aau, I have just eaten over £5.30 worth then. :eek:
